fecked off with being away the first, last and boxing days fixtures every season???????? i AM, and its about time we got a fair crack at being home on those days....... rant over!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks ok to me wednesday awy first game, couldn't ask for a better away fixture to open account and away following should be swelled with opening day interest. Boxing day a t Preston is fine only an hour away simular to Burnley last year. Being away first game does give us 3 home fixtures in August so where's the problem or is it only a problem to the fans that don't travel???
RE: Why missing out Plenty. Especially if we'd got Sheffield Wednesday at home first game and, like Sheffield Wednesday, a big club like Newcastle on Boxing Day.
RE: Why missing out wdnesday at home first game. wouldn't have been that many more than on a normal saturday and newcastle at home boxing day yes would have been a full house but don't you think that game will probably pull the highest league attendance anyway. boxing day game could have always been Bristol city at home!!!
RE: Why missing out Yes it could have been Bristol, but Bristol on Boxing day would attract more fans than Bristol on a normal Saturday. And its not JUST a financial thing, there's something specail about those fixtures, the people who don't travel are missing out again.
RE: Why missing out yes but travelling to Wednesday for an opening game isn't that far and really we couldn't have asked for a better away fixture as opening game where around 7,000 away fans can be housed. Should be no excuse. It would have been good to be home boxing day i agree, but those fixtures could have been a lot worse
RE: Why missing out I agree, as an away first fixture its probably the best. I still think that at least 1 of the 3 should be at home.
